Travis Bregier earned his Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in vocal performance at North Dakota State University. As a student of Dr. Robert Jones, he performed solo recitals featuring music from the Baroque to the twenty-first century, and appeared as a soloist in George Frederic Handel’s Messiah. He also performed as a soloist in Europe with the NDSU Concert Choir while touring Croatia and Italy.

Extending his talents into opera, Bregier has made multiple appearances on the stage of the NDSU Festival Concert Hall, including: Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus  (Strauss), a priest in The Magic Flute (Mozart), the Learned Judge in Trial by Jury (Sullivan), and Peter Quince in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Britten).

Bregier was a first place finalist in the North Dakota National Association of Teachers of Singing regional competitions in 2010, 2011, 2013, and in the graduate division in 2015, allowing him to compete in the semi-final round at the National NATS audition that same year.

Currently, he is singing with the Santa Fe Symphony Chorus and First Presbyterian Church while also teaching voice and piano lessons at First Presbyterian Church and The Candyman: Strings & Things. Looking forward, he is excited to be preparing for Opera Southwest’s fall production of Guillaume Tell (Rossini) in Albuquerque.
